Watch the sky tonight

Every year at this time, the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet called Swift Tuttle, and we see meteors streaking across the night sky as pieces of debris from the comet enter the earth's atmosphere at more than 100,000 mph and burn up. The Perseid can be seen during the last week of July or first week in August, but the peak will come tonight -- the evening of Sunday, August 11 into the morning of Monday, August 12

Very nice viewing tonight. Nature does the best shows.

Nothing like sitting on the hot tub watching meteor showers.

They put the I and the O too close together for my fat fingers...

I got a shower out of it... I love the cooler weather and the rain and now the clouds are moving off, too bad it's a school night or I'd camp out under the stars on the deck!
